00:00After a disappointing result, sometimes the manager or players say,

00:03we want to play again as quickly as possible to get out of our systems,

00:06but it's been 15, 16 days since Wembley,

00:09what's the feeling here? Are you now desperate to play?

00:13Is that the sense you're getting?

00:15I definitely am, because it's been 15 or 16 days, or even longer,

00:18before I last managed a game, but many of our players played one week ago,

00:24important games for the national team.

00:27But everybody can understand the position we are in at the moment,

00:32that we're all looking so much forward to the upcoming nine games.

00:38So, yeah, players are refreshed, in my opinion.

00:42But it wasn't all negative, we've played a final,

00:45so we've managed to play a final against a very good Newcastle team,

00:48and we had one great game and the other we defended really well against Paris Saint-Germain,

00:56which was, in my opinion, the best game in the Champions League so far.

01:00And we got beaten by a very, very good team, but what a game we played as well.

01:05So, yeah, you can always look at the result, which was not the way we wanted in two games,

01:10but I was proud of our performance against Paris Saint-Germain,

01:14it was maybe the best game we've played this season.

01:18But unfortunately we lost it on penalties.

01:25Hi, Arnaud, you described the previous three matches as being Cup finals,

01:29I just wondered if you take that attitude into this game

01:32and into the remaining league games you have,

01:34despite the fact you've got a good lead at the top of the Premier League?

01:39Yeah, but in the final stages of the season every game matters,

01:44and, yeah, if I now again say it's going to be nine finals,

01:49yeah, it is for every team, but it was a bit, because we played the final,

01:53I use the word, we played three finals in a row,

01:56because Paris Saint-Germain was also a knock-out game.

01:59But, yeah, these games are very important for us, the upcoming nine,

02:04starting with the following one, and that's Everton.

02:07Not only because it's the Merseyside derby,

02:09also because we are in such a great position in the league.
